Penny is a magnificent pin oak living in Loose Park in Kansas City, Missouri. She is near the southeast corner of the park and can be seen from Wornall Road. Her value to the city, measured in storm water reduction, improved air quality, higher real estate values, carbon storage, and energy savings is $25,804 per year and growing!

Penny has many friends in Loose Park: Roy, another, very handsome, pin oak (and her secret heartthrob), Lewis, a grumpy scots pine and Percy, a Black walnut,
